Black Friends: Please Wake Up

“It
(self-esteem) cannot be replaced by one’s power to deceive. The
self-confidence of a scientist and the self-confidence of a con man are not
interchangeable states, and do not come from the same psychological
universe. The success of a man who deals with reality augments his
self-confidence. The success of a con man augments his panic.” John
Galt, Ayn Rand’s hero in Atlas Shrugged.

The news the past few
days has been about Donald Trump’s supposed verbiage used to describe nations
known by all civilized societies to be hell holes. The President
theoretically used a different word… but I wouldn’t believe anything Democrat
Senator Durbin from Illinois said if my life depended on it.

There were six members
of Congress in the room. Dick Durbin is the only one who heard President
Trump say “s**t holes.” I find it interesting that Durbin had
nothing to say about Barrack Obama when he called Libya a “s**t show.”
There is evidently a difference in Durbin’s mind between a “s**t hole” and a “s**t
show.”

In this instance, Donald
Trump is the realist to whom John Galt refers; Dick Durbin is the con man… and
panic motivates this kind of behavior, as Rand’s John Galt said it would.

The fact is, Trump is
right in his assessment. And it has nothing to do with race. It has
everything to do with poverty, dependency, violence, poor health, and the drain
the natives of hell holes place on our economy when millions of them enter our
country illegally every year.

If one seeks truth, one
cannot ignore a significant fact about which no one speaks. It is
this: All of the nations of the world being invaded are white-dominated
societies; all of the invaders are non-whites. If that simple fact makes
me a racist, so be it. It makes the fact racist, too.

A second fact is
this: The only race of people in history that has consistently avoided or
quickly thrown off the bonds of slavery is the white race. This may lead
you to recognize a third fact.

That third fact is
this: It is a distinct possibility that the reason all white nations on
this planet are being invaded by non-white populations is not because the
invaders are in any way inferior. Nor is the invasion of white worlds
occurring because corrupt politicians worldwide want to hold out a
compassionate hand to those in need. It’s quite possible the invasion is
because as long as whites dominate by number any nation, it is impossible to
enslave that nation. And the world government theme is based on precisely
that: enslaving the labor class to serve an elitist class… the planned
oligarchy. History tells us that non-whites do not defend against slavery
as determinedly as whites do. It’s as simple as that. Pick up a history
book and check it out.

Over the years, I have
learned that when progressive liberals flood the front pages of the liberal
media with flashy, sexy, divide and conquer headlines, it is because they are
hiding what is really occurring.

What you are hearing
about Donald Trump calling some nations “s**t holes” really has no significance
relative to what is really going on. The Democrats have no issue on which
they can win an election and their issue has become telling any lie they can
about President Donald Trump and finding every way they can to play the race
card. It’s all they have… and it is a deplorable card to play.

Think about some
inconvenient facts with which liberal progressives are now wrestling… a very
difficult conflict. Answer these questions:

1.On whom do Democrats
rely to win elections at both the state and federal level? Answer:
Black people.

2.To whom is the Democrat
Party now giving all of its attention? Answer: Illegal aliens, most
of whom are Hispanic.

If there is any way to
support illegal aliens, progressive liberals are for it… from no wall, to an
international lottery which lets nations with societies that are the hell holes
send the worst of their problem makers to America, to making the “Dreamers”
(DACA) sound like the most honorable and hard-working people in the
world. To hear Democrats talk about those who come to America illegally
is to hear them talk about how they are serving in our military to protect
America. There are some who do and they are to be commended above and
beyond the normal “thank you for your service” statements that are sincerely
given by civilians to members of our military.

The fact is: Only
7/10ths of one percent of non-Americans serve in our military. So when
you hear Democrats make it sound like half of our military personnel are
illegal aliens, it’s a huge lie… excrement from male cattle. The fact is,
21 percent of those behind bars in federal prisons are illegals. Many are
anything but contributors to American society.

3.The above facts create a problem for Democrat
liberals and progressives. They are giving full attention and support to
those who are Hispanic, illegals who cannot vote, and are ignoring their Black
constituents on whom they depend to win elections. Oops.

What startles me is that the Black population is allowing itself
to be drawn into this political conflict of interest. Those they elect to
support Black communities support illegal aliens who cannot vote (legally, at
any rate) and are ignoring those who can and on whom they rely to win
elections. It’s not the smartest strategy in the world and Republicans
have an opportunity to play the race card against the Democrats (if they’re
smart enough to know how without offending people).

Within the first year of Barrack Obama’s presidency, the Black
unemployment rate hit 16.8% and it stayed high during his entire
administration.

In the first 8 months of the Trump Presidency, Black unemployment
is down to 6.8 percent, its lowest level in many years.

Black family income fell by more than $900 a year under
Obama. Within just 8 months of Trump’s presidency, Black family income is
up more than $1,000 – that is a $1,900 per family net turn-around.

Will our Black population wake up, open its eyes and realize that
Democrats are abusing them by favoring illegal aliens? Democrat abuse
usually comes in the form of making promises that are lies and then ignoring
them – but this is more apparent and it is worse.

Who is taking jobs away from Blacks? Why, it’s none other
than the same people white workers have complained are taking jobs from
them: Illegal Hispanic aliens.

It was made pretty clear on Laura Ingraham’s radio show last week
when Black men from Chicago, Atlanta and a few other large cities called to
complain that jobs normally filled by Black men are now being filled by
lower-paid illegal aliens.

Democrats evidently believe the most effective way to keep Black
eyes on Donald Trump as the racist problem rather than Democrat policies is to
invent ways to call the President a racist and to tell their Black constituents
that the President is insulting nations with Black populations… like Haiti,
Sudan, Somalia, and El Salvador. Here are some stats from those nations.
published by Laura Ingraham on her Fox News broadcast last Friday:

El Salvador

Its capitol has the
highest murder rate in the world;
Cities and towns are among the most dangerous on the planet;
40”% of migrants deported from the US were fleeing violence;

Somalia

5.5 million people are
at risk of getting cholera;
Is a safe haven for terrorists;
ISIS has established a faction there;
Is one of the largest sponsors of terrorism.

Sudan

Is on the list of State
Sponsors of Terrorism (1 of 4 countries);
Poverty rate 50.6%;
Over one-third of the population lacks access to food.

Whenever a Democrat’s
lips are moving and the comments being made involve race, look for a racial
crisis Democrats are responsible for but are hiding from public view.

The only thing Democrat
liberals and progressives understand is divide and conquer. The
problem is, they have painted themselves into a corner from which it will be
very difficult to extricate themselves. Their policies that support the
illegal immigration of Hispanics into America are destroying employment
opportunities for their most loyal voters: Black people. Not very
smart… but who would expect anything else from the Dick Durbins of the
world? The panic of the con man, as John Galt said it would, is becoming
apparent.

President Trump is right
about immigration, legal and illegal. America needs to make sure that
those who come to our shores are capable of supporting themselves and have the
potential to add, not detract, from our society. I don’t care what color
they are, I don’t care what religion they are (or are not). They need to
migrate legally, want to become American, be productive, and be loyal to their
new country.

The days when the
American economy can afford to support the world are long gone… and the lies
Democrats tell about the positive impact illegal aliens have on the American
economy are, too. Many do make a positive contribution… but the
percentage of social welfare given to illegal families is very, very high (some
say as high as 80 percent).

Wake up, my Black
friends. It is you the Democrat policies are hurting most!
